Journalist David Cay Johnston said an unknown person sent him the top two pages from Trump's 2005 IRS return Trump blasted him in a tweet as someone 'who nobody has ever heard of'

Johnston gave them to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow; White House accused her of violating the law in a desperate lunge for ratings and Trump called it 'fake news'

Trump made $253 million that year but wrote off all but 150 million as a loss carried over from a previous year He paid $5.3 million in regular federal income tax and another $31 million in 'Alternative Minimum Tax' – something he wants to ban

Documents are stamped 'client copy' leading to speculation Trump leaked them

I hope the president will slip in a comment along the lines of,
“Did you ever ask your son Hunter if he put that $3.5 million he got from the Moscow mayor’s wife down on his 1040?”

Of course he’ll be shouted down by Chrissy and Biden won’t answer, but at least he gets it out there for millions of Americans who haven’t heard, since there’s a total MSM blackout on it.
